The spring is cold and the winter plum blossoms are in full bloom.
The weather in Damingfu in December is also very cold.
After several days of running around, Liu Qingxi finally found a suitable store on Dongping Street, Damingfu.
The shop itself is a restaurant, built on two floors, with a front hall and a backyard, which is very similar to the layout of the original Qingfeng Restaurant in Qingyun County.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Qingxi took a fancy to this restaurant.
The original owner of this restaurant was an old man in his sixties. Because he was old and unable to do his job, and the competition in the restaurant business was fierce, he came up with the idea of retirement.
Liu Qingxi has also explored it before and after. Dongping Street is about 150 meters long, but there are no less than a dozen restaurants, tea shops, and bookstores. The competition is fierce.
Even diagonally across from the restaurant, within ten steps, there is a restaurant called the ‘Golden House Restaurant’.
Its decoration is luxurious and elegant, there are many literary and artistic works working in the building, and there is an endless stream of guests coming in and out. It is quite famous in East Street.
It turns out that the old owner of the restaurant couldn’t continue his business because of the ‘Golden House’ restaurant.
When Liu Qingxi saw this scene, she hesitated in her heart.
But the New Year was approaching, and Liu Qingxi was anxious to open the shop as soon as possible, otherwise she would always feel uneasy and feel ashamed of her father. In addition, the shop was a bit exciting and the price was right, so she gritted her teeth and finally sold the shop.
Come down.
Fortunately, the location of the store is quite good. It is in a relatively central area. The backyard is adjacent to the river in the city, with weeping willows and a large wintersweet garden next to it.
Whenever the wind blows, the whole restaurant can smell the fragrance of wintersweet, which is a unique flavor.
After taking possession of the restaurant, Liu Qingxi hired someone to renovate it and make the layout of the restaurant exactly the same as that of Qingfeng Restaurant. This could be regarded as fulfilling her wish.
After seven or eight days of busy work, in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the renovation of Qingfeng Restaurant was finally completed and ready.
"Miss, the decoration has been completed. I have checked it several times and there is nothing wrong. We can open tomorrow!"
Uncle Fu, the shopkeeper, looked very excited when he saw the newly renovated restaurant.
After all, he is also an old man in the restaurant. He can be regarded as half of Liu Qingxi's elders. He also has deep feelings for Qingfeng Restaurant. Although the location has been changed, everyone has unanimously decided on the name of the restaurant and still uses the Qingfeng Restaurant as its sign.
This is not only Liu Qingxi's knot, but also everyone's obsession.
Liu Qingxi was still excited in her heart, with tears shining in her eyes. Su Ping'an could feel the emotional fluctuations in her heart, so he stepped forward to stand with her, looked at the huge restaurant in front of him, and said: "Don't worry, once we open tomorrow,
Everything will go back to how we were before!”
Liu Qingxi also embraced such beauty and nodded heavily.
But they didn't know that just when Liu Qingxi and the others were looking forward to the restaurant, two figures were standing at the door of the "Golden House" restaurant on the opposite slope, pointing towards Qingfeng Restaurant.
"Shopkeeper Hu, I heard that the old man Fu across the street has sold out the shop, and I also asked about it. It seems that the girl who took over the business is a girl from Qingyun County. It is said that she is also in our line of work. What do you think?
look?"
The waiter in the store said to a man in his forties next to him in a flattering manner.
That man was none other than Shopkeeper Hu from the Golden House. He had a cunning face and stern eyes. It was obvious at a glance that he was not a good person.
It is said that the owner of the Golden House Restaurant has a mysterious identity and has a lot of background, but he rarely shows up. The store has always been managed by the shopkeeper Hu.
Shopkeeper Hu can make the "Golden House" restaurant so famous on East Street and squeeze out the business of the restaurant opposite. You can already imagine his methods.
Shopkeeper Hu stared at the Qingfeng Restaurant diagonally opposite, his eyes narrowed slightly, like a cold poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but sneered: "Come on, as long as you are not afraid of death, just come. If I can crush an old man Fu, then I can do it again."
Knock out the second one. What's more, she's from out of town, has no foundation at all, and wants to establish a foothold in our East Street. Does she think this is still their small, remote place?!
Just wait, maybe we won't need to take any action. It won't be long before she knows that this is not a place for her to stay.
After all, if a restaurant wants to gain a foothold, it can’t do it without a well-known literary cultivator. I don’t believe it, what kind of famous literary cultivator can she bring on her own? Let’s just wait and see..."
After saying that, shopkeeper Hu returned to the restaurant without caring at all.
It was the end of the evening meal, and the Golden Restaurant was at its most popular. The building was full of guests downstairs, and the literature list was filled with various stories and novels. It was an unprecedented event.
With such capital and fame, Golden Restaurant is indeed qualified to dominate the entire East Street!
What's more, daring to name such a restaurant shows how confident and powerful the owner of the restaurant is!
…
The next day, it was sunny and windy, with no clouds in the sky. It was a rare good weather, perfect for opening business.
Early in the morning, Liu Qingxi was ready.
A large firecracker was pulled from upstairs to downstairs, and Xiao Fuzi was responsible for lighting it.
Crackling...
There was a series of explosions, and no matter what they were doing, passers-by would always stop and take a look when they heard the excitement, so before long, a circle of people gathered at the door of the restaurant.
After the firecrackers were lit, Liu Qingxi came forward and gave a lively speech, and then announced the opening.
The shopkeeper, Uncle Fu, then added, "Today the shop opens. To celebrate, starting from today, for three days, all guests who come in will have free drinks and 40% off their expenses. The store also has guests from our Qingyun County Cultural Association."
Everyone can read these two masterpieces written by Su Sheng Xiaomeng at will..."
After a lot of shouting, the atmosphere was quite good.
But when I started to greet the guests, I didn't expect that no one around me was willing to come in.
There were still waves of discussion coming from around.
"Opening a hotel with free drinks, offering discounts, these same tricks again!"
"It's just that I don't know how to use some new tricks. Our Daming Mansion has not used these routines for several years."
"Well, it seems that the owner of this store is really a foreigner and doesn't understand any rules. When a new store opens, if there are no famous literary cultivators to support the place, or big shots to help promote it, there will be no customers here at all."
"What about the 'Qingyun County Cultural Association Crown'? What the hell is that? It's ridiculous that a small county town can be crowned as a publicity!"
"..."
Hearing the words around them, Liu Qingxi and Uncle Fu, who were still holding great expectations in their hearts, felt as if someone had poured cold water on them, and their moods plummeted!
Could it be that the restaurant has just opened and is about to close again?!
